Explanation:
The computation of the sales volume needs to be achieved is shown below:
Sales volume is

Answer:
The correct answers are:
1) "B": common pool resources are overused.
2) "C": overfishing in public waters.
Explanation:
1) The tragedy of the commons is a resource-based economic problem that takes place when given resources are overexploited without a clear renewable plan or government restrictions that avoid the extinction of those resources. Those resources are usually scarce.
2) <em>Overfishing in public waters</em> is a clear example of the tragedy of the commons. Certain types of fish are scarce. The situation worsens when there are no clear limits imposed on fishermen who tend to overexploit fishing for economic purposes. A real-life example of this is the collapse of the North Atlantic Cod fisheries on Canada's eastern coast.
Answer:
After tax cost of debt is 6.82%
Explanation:
Currently the yield to maturity is the pre-tax cost of debt for Hype company, however the after tax cost of debt considers that the bonds are tax deductible , its actual is less than the pre-tax cost of debt , hence the after-tax cost of debt is shown below
After tax cost of debt=yield to maturity *(1-tax)
after tax cost of debt=11%*(1-0.38)
after tax cost of debt=11%*0.62
after tax cost of debt =6.82%
This confirms that cost of debt is usually lower than cost of equity , where shareholders would want an extra premium to compensate them for the increased risk taken by investing in the business.
